Common questions about container transportation
Question 1: What is the inner diameter size of a container?
Dalian Freight: Unlike outer diameter dimensions, container inner diameter refers to the maximum length, width, and height dimensions inside the container. The length is the interval between the inner side panel of the box door and the inner lining panel of the end wall, the width is the interval between the two inner lining panels, and the height is the interval from the bottom panel of the box to the bottom of the box top panel. It determines the volume inside the container and the maximum size of the cargo inside the container.
Question 2: What if the height of my goods exceeds 2.32 meters?
Dalian Freight: Since it is an open top container, it is understandable that it can be oversized, so we can also accept oversized goods. Of course, the detailed dimensions can be oversized. Regarding the impact on freight rates, attention should be paid to the operation. We need you to provide detailed dimensions of the goods so that we can implement a reasonable plan for you. Normally, we transport open top containers from Shenzhen port, mainly including Shekou open top container transportation, Chiwan open top container transportation, and Yantian open top container transportation.
Question 3: What is the box load capacity? What is the difference between cabin weight restrictions?
Dalian Freight: Container load refers to the maximum allowable cargo weight of this type of container. The difference between container load and cabin load is that the specifications for cabin load are specified by the shipping company. According to the rules, this container can only carry a certain number of loads, and under normal circumstances, the cabin load limit will be lower than the container load.
Question 4: Why is the load capacity of a 40 foot container lower than that of a 20 foot container?
Dalian Freight: Due to the fact that the weight of a 40 foot open top container is greater than that of a 20 foot open top container, and their bottom plates are the same, the thickness of the bottom plate determines the load capacity, so the load capacity will be slightly lower.
Of course, in the practical operation of special containers, the smooth shipment of goods depends not only on size and parameters, but also on a series of complex factors such as route layout and whether port equipment can handle the goods.
